Kuwaii's Summer collection feat. stunning reds, oranges and aquas  

A sneak peek at Kuwaii's Autumn/Winter range named Regalia.. shhh!  

Yummy afternoon treats.. hello vanilla slice! 

Summer collection is in-store now 

Gabby & I had the pleasure of viewing Kuwaii's Autumn/Winter range last week. Just to give you the 411 on Kuwaii - they are a super cool Melbourne label that you need to check out. Think beautiful yet versatile pieces including the ever cool flatform leather brogue. You can pre-order their range by emailing contact@kuwaii.com.au. Can't wait to see what's to come from this amazing brand! x Sharday

Shanghai is the coolest city I’ve been to in a long time. I love everything about it. There’s the radio tower, crab dumplings, crazy nightclubs/KTV, Chinese iced tea and my personal fav Uniqlo! What more could you want?

HCMC travel guide..

I thought I would list some of my favourite places in Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam is such a great country, so if you get a chance to visit, live it up and don't miss out on my top 3 destinations!

1. L'Usine - 151/1 Dong Khoi St District 1 HCMC

The place is amazing! Hipster cafe meets quirky boutique. Kinda similar to Fat in Melbourne, but even better as there's cupcakes!

2. Tricia & Verona Tailors - 39 Dong Du Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1 HCMC

The amazing girls at Tricia & Verona made me 2 x dresses, 2 x shirts and 2 x tees for around $200USD. Definitely worth visiting if you're in HCMC for longer than a few days. Great quality and reasonable turn-around.

3 - Hoa Tuc 74/7 Hai Ba Trung, District 1, HCMC

This was hands down my favourite restaurant in HCMC. From the home-made Silken Tofu to prawn parcels and soft-shell crab.. they have everything (incl. fresh coconuts)!
